"when i was about to start eighth grade, my father almost shot my mother. it was another of their many ugly fights. i got between them literally and tried to grab the gun. i will never forget that night. the shouting. the fear. the raw fear that we would all die, my brother and sisters along with my parents. my calling for help, but the police not coming. my parents were important people in town. my mother running out of the house. i locked my brother and sisters in a bedroom and pushed a bed against the door. my father broke in, took the door off the hinges and pulled the phone from the wall. he
